About this study

Nociceptor inputs can trigger a prolonged but reversible increase in the excitability and synaptic efficacy of neurons in central nociceptive pathways, the phenomenon of central sensitization. The degenerative joint disease, osteoarthritis, with characteristic destruction of cartilage and alteration in bone is a very common cause of chronic pain. The degree of pain does not always correlate with the extent of joint damage or presence of active inflammation raising the possibility that there may be a central component to the pain. The central sensitization inventory (CSI) is a new self-report screening instrument to measure the degree of central sensitization, and to help identify patients with central sensitivity syndromes. The aim of this investigation is to evaluate the influence of preoperative central sensitization, which represented by CSI score, on postoperative pain score in osteoarthritis patients undergoing total knee replacement who receiving patient-controlled epidural analgesia.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Knee Osteoarthritis, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Shin Hyung Kim, MD (82-2-2227-3556, tessar@yuhs.ac), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Peak pain score (time frame: at the point of Epidural PCA to postoperative 1-48 h). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 May 2013.
